Human dilemma for post-Covid Higher Education: between senses and Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

Abstract

The face-to-face education of public universities is being challenged by the acceleration of unpublished microorganisms, demanding social distancing and driving the conversion of service to digital. This paper discusses scenarios to examine whether the traditional model of training has been exhausted. It begins by identifying contextual forces that push in such a direction, analyzing the significance that this acquires in antagonistic positions that pose an intricacy for the human senses in (dis)activation. The conclusion foresees risks, particularly in the face of the plans of powerful transnational corporations that promote hyper-utilitarian instructional platforms, guided essentially by cost-benefit criteria.
